THE ONE THAT FITS ANY GUN!
BANISH Suppressors are the original multi-caliber suppressors and have been setting the standard for modular suppressor design since 2009. As “the one that fits any gun,” BANISH Suppressors are more than just a multi-caliber suppressor, they are also packed full of innovative design features that BANISH both sound and recoil. Founded in 2005, BANISH Suppressors, (formerly Varminter) has always had one overriding goal in mind – to make the most user-friendly suppressor on the market. And what is more user-friendly than being multi-caliber, and fully user-serviceable? At BANISH Suppressors, we are proud of what we’ve accomplished, and we want to share with you what makes a BANISH Suppressor stand out from the crowd.

DESCRIPTION:
Custom Designed for Unequaled Performance
The Mack Brothers start by machining the Varminter 4.0 from solid titanium bar stock- no rolled tubes here. But we knew we could do much better.
So we made a thicker tube that bleeds muzzle blast heat faster than ever before, creating a cooler, quieter silencer.
No Quieter Silencer on the Market. We Guarantee It.
Intense, rigorous military-grade tasting on our Bruel and Kjaer 2209 Sound Testing Meter prove it, there is no quieter .223 or .308 silencer available on the market today- we guarantee it!

Varminter 3.0
SPECIFICATIONS .223 – 5.56 mm (Varminter 3.0)
- Length: 7”
- Diameter: 1.5”
- Weight: 9 oz
- Thread: ½”x28 TPI
- Construction: titanium tube and end caps and titanium baffles. Magnum rated.
- Finish: Black cerakote
SPECIFICATIONS .308 – 7.62 mm (Varminter 3.0)
- Length: 9”
- Diameter: 1.5”
- Weight: 13oz
- Thread: 5/8”x24 TPI
- Construction: titanium tube and end caps and titanium baffles. Magnum rated.
- Finish: Black cerakote
DESCRIPTION:
Titanium tube and titanium end caps married with heat-treated stainless steel baffle design. Utilizing a unique “outside of the box” baffle design which more efficiently channels additional heat from the gas blast to the proprietary titanium alloy tube in a masterful wicking effect. The proprietary baffle design and tube work synergistically to change the sound tone and more efficiently convert gas pressure energy to heat energy, creating the quietest silencer on the market, guaranteed. We own a military grade sound meter and have compared the Mack Brothers Varminter 3.0 to other .223 & .308 silencers available on the market. (Bruel & Kjoer 2209 Sound Testing Meter).
Accuracy enhancing due to no welding, all parts of The Titanium Varminter 3.0 are custom fit together to ensure no stress factors which are created by traditional welding of other higher mass production silencers. Tube started as a solid titanium bar and was then machined down to increase tube thickness beyond standard available tubing, again working to pull heat from the blast quicker. Baffle structure started with a solid titanium bar, each baffle is CNC machined from proprietary corrosion resistant titanium for limited lifetime warranty. This 100% titanium silencer is user serviceable; yes… it comes apart for cleaning.
HISTORY:
Manufactured by MACK BROTHERS (West River Rifle Company) in Sturgis, SD for Dakota Silencer exclusively. This silencer design and conception began many years ago when the owner of South Dakota Silencer identified a void in the marketplace and worked closely with the Mack Brothers to create a silencer specifically for tactical target shooting, varmint hunting, and bench rest shooting at long distances where accuracy, sound reduction, recoil reduction, and weight on the end of the barrel were the most important factors. The Titanium Varminter 3.0 has become the best-selling silencer on the market in the Upper Midwest, and plans are underway for rapid expansion to share this silencer with other gun owners across our great nation.
